Right now the Westmark is the cheapest at $56 per night w/ free shuttle, parking, and Internet. Not sure if we'll be able to do better than that. The Westmark and the Princess Lodge are located next to each other and very close to the airport (as I think the HIX is), while the Springhill Suites is in a great location at the heart of downtown....
We have stayed at the Princess and it is very nice but somewhat remotely located. We did not like either Westmark that we stayed at (one in Juneau and the other in Valdez) and IIRC, being downtown in Fairbanks is really the place to be. Therefore, our vote is for the Springhill.
